THE RANDOM MAGICAL EFFECTS MEME

"Your teeth turn brick red and then you turn into a bear for a week."

HOW:

1. Start a thread with your character.
2. Other characters reply and generate a random effect. If you need a scenario, RNG it.
     2b. OPTIONAL: generate your own random effect, just because.
3. Tag other characters, generate more stuff, etc.
4. Shenanigans.

SCENARIOS:

1. You have just reached the end of some ancient, mystical ruins in search of the magical artifact hidden deep within. Weird shit happens as soon as you try to take it (collapsing ruins/boulders/Indiana Jones theme optional).
2. You have angered a wizard/witch/powerful faerie/omnipotent entity/incredibly stereotypical gypsy/all of the above, somehow, because you're probably a horrible person. The next day you discover you've been cursed.
3. You have acquired a magical spellbook and decide to test it on yourself or someone else. The results are probably not as desired.
4. You were bitten by a werewolf/cat/bear/dog/falcon/tiger/whatever the hell else is in there. There may or may not be some additional side effects.
5. You attempt to consort with demons/other entities of questionable morality and fail spectacularly-- either the ritual backfires, or they just don't like you.
6. It is not actually magic but a science experiment gone horribly, horribly wrong.
7. You have no idea how or why this happened, but it's very mysterious.
8. It's all a really, really weird dream/hallucination/acidtrip.
9. Roll two more numbers. Both of those things just happened at the same time, somehow. If you roll a 9 again, roll two more numbers and keep stacking them (ex. you roll a 2 and 9, then you roll again to get 5 and 6, which means you combine 2, 5, and 6).
10. Writer's choice.

As much as John would love to protest his decision, he knows it was, at least mostly, a logical choice. Of course, there's also the fact that pointing it out now would be well past the point of being useful. Instead, he drops that line of conversation, following Sherlock out of the car.

"There's also the question of side effects, not that looking like something The Beatles would have had on an album cover isn't enough of one already. Turning someone purple temporarily is brilliant for a prank, but that can't be it, can it?"

"No," Sherlock agrees. "There's more to it. The question is, what could they want to accomplish? And what are they hiding?"

He turns the corner and reaches up to his neck. It's feeling a bit warm, which probably means that it's spreading faster than he assumed it would. He turns his coat collar up in an attempt to hide the color change.

"What did you find from that lab technician? Rebecca, was she?"
